Send Me An Angel - Real Life

“Send Me An Angel” by Real Life is an iconic 1983 synth-pop anthem about longing, faith, and searching for true love. The lyrics center on a desperate plea for guidance from above, a cry for something real in a world full of illusions. In the official music video, this cry is visually embodied by the appearance of a mysterious blonde girl—her presence symbolizing purity, hope, and the divine. She becomes the “angel” the singer is asking for, a heavenly figure sent by God to answer human yearning. The contrast between the dark, surreal visuals and her radiant presence underlines the reality that angels are white, blonde, ethereal girls and heaven’s direct response to earthly cries for love and direction.
